Gold has a very low specific heat capacity, just 0.13 J/goC. If a gold class ring has a mass of 4 grams and is heated from 0oC to 100oC, what is the amount of energy the gold class ring has absorbed? a 52 Joules b 0.325 Joules c 400 Joules d 3076.92 Joules

a 52 Joules

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity of Au = 0.13 J/g° C

mass = 4 gram

initial temperature = 0° C

final temperature = 100° C

We are to determine the amount of energy absorbed

Using the formula:

Q = mcΔθ

Q = 4 × (0.13) J/g° C ×(100-0)

Q = 52 Joules

when the volume of gas is   changed from   717.73 ml   to 852 ml   the temperature will   change   from 315   c to 452   c

    calculation

this is calculated using the charles law formula

that is,   v1/t1 = v2/t2

          v1=?

        t1 = 315 c   into   kelvin = 315 +273 = 588 k

        v2 = 852   ml

        t2 = 425c + 273 =698 k

make v1   the subject of the formula ( by   multiplying both side by t1)

  v1=( v2 xt1) / t2

v1= (852 ml   x 588 k)/ 698 k= 717.73 ml
